      Graduate Student Interview

      11 Jul 2017
      Anonymous interview candidate
      Hong Kong
      No offer
      Negative experience
      Average interview

      Application

      I applied online. I interviewed at HSBC (Hong Kong) in Feb 2017

      Interview

      App test -> Phone interview -> Assessment Centre which consists of group discussion (case study) and 2 rounds of behavioural interviews. If I could turned the clock back, I would have prepare more on the case study (CFA material). The overall experience is so so I could say. It is hard to stay focus throughout the whole assessment day. Six hours is too long an interview process.

      Interview questions [1]

      Question 1

      Why HSBC? Tell me a time you made a mistake. If you can make one change to HSBC (policy for instance), what would you suggest?

      Difficult interview

      Application

      I applied online. I interviewed at HSBC (London, England) in Jan 2025

      Interview

      Smooth and friendly assessors made everything easier. The general themes are mainly regarding company core values, examining your problem solving capabilities, how you approach the current bank issues. If you do some research beforehand you will be fine.
